The square knot (also known as flat knot) is a simple and quick knot, suitable for ties that do not have to withstand excessive tension.It is widely used among sailors, climbers and for wrapping gift packages thanks to its practicality.In addition to being extremely simple, the square knot offers some resistance in a variety of uses, even the most unexpected.More importantly, almost anyone can learn to do it in just a few steps!

Tie a Basic Square Knot

  1. Step 1 Procurati due cordini e metti quello destro sul sinistro.
    • For this purpose, you will need two strings, ropes, etc.Alternatively, you can use opposite ends of the same rope.
    • In our example we put the string held by the right hand (beige in the image above) on the one held by the left (red and black).However, even if you put the left cord over the right, you can still get a square knot by reversing the following instructions.
  2. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • The end of the right should point to the left (and vice versa).
    • Keep in mind that the first two steps for tying a square knot are the same ones you use for tying shoes.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • This step is also identical to the way you start tying your shoes.
    • At this point, you should have what is known as single node.[1] If you repeat the previous steps, you get a simple knot.
  4. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Bear in mind that the cord that goes over the top is still the beige one in the image above.The end that was originally on the right will be on the left at the beginning of this passage, so it is the cord that must go above.
  5. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • The movement is practically the same as that of step 2, with the only difference that it must go in the opposite direction, as the initial right lace at this point comes from the left.
  6. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Try pulling all four loose ends with the same force.Otherwise, the knot may lose its shape and even unravel as you pull on it.
  7. Step 7 Controlla se il nodo quadro (o piano) sia corretto.
    • Looking at it from the front, you should have a knot similar to the one pictured above.You can also find more great images at AnimatedKnots.com and other sites dedicated to knots.[2]
    • If you pulled the cord correctly, you should have a clean, even knot made up of two loops inserted into each other.
  8. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • It is simple to undo the square knot:just grab the curve of each loop with your hands and pull in opposite directions.The knot should separate very easily.

  1. Step 1 Piega il cordino sinistro su se stesso, creando un anello.
    • Start by holding a string in each hand (as you would following the previous method) and fold the end of the left one on itself, creating a not very small ring.
    • This system leads you to create a node identical to the one obtained with the previous method.
    • As above, you can tie a loop with the right string and reverse the directions to tie an identical knot.
  2. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • For the subsequent steps, it is advisable to hold the base of the loop formed with the left cord with your left index finger so that the ends remain in place.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Thread the right cord through the loop.Introduce it and bring it under this ring:it should pass under the basic of the loop formed with the left cord.
  4. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Then pull the right end (the one you put through the loop) and bring it over the cords that join the base of the loop.If you hold it with your left hand as indicated above, this end should be on the side left of the noose itself.
    • When you're done, the right cord should be at the top of the loop.
  5. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Finally, take the end of the right cord (which at this point is located at left of the loop) and thread it under the top curve of the loop.This step replicates the motion you made earlier on the bottom half of the loop.
    • At this point, the right cord will once again be "inside" the loop.Pull it to finish the knot.
  6. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Compliments!This knot should be exactly the same as the one you made following the previous method.

Modify the Framework Node

  1. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • To make the square knot a little stronger, skip the "pull the four ends" step described in the previous methods and, instead, repeat the process of passing the string over and under until you have another simple knot on top of the square node.You can add as many simple knots as you want to make the tie even stronger.
    • Keep in mind that, even if you add other square nodes, the result obtained will not guarantee you to use this ligature in critical situations.Do not use the square knot (even reinforced by simple knots) to secure heavy loads or dangerous objects, as there is a risk that it will not hold.[3] Instead, use a more secure knot, such as the cowhide knot or double English knot.[4]
  2. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • Another way to make a regular square knot stronger is to tie a surgical knot.Therefore, after wrapping the right cord over and under the left cord for the first time, wrap it again up and down to create a second spiral.
    • Then repeat the rest of the steps as you normally would.It is not necessary to add an extra spiral when making the second part of the square knot.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Fare un Nodo Quadro
    • If the cord is long enough (for example, a shoelace), it is recommended to try tying a square knot starting from two nooses of rope (also called "doubles") rather than using simple rope.
    • To make this tie, simply start with a loop in each hand and treat it as if it were a single cord following the normal instructions for the square knot.In other words, the right loop replaces the right cord, while the left loop takes the place of the left cord, and the instructions must be followed identically.

Advice

  • This is an effective knot for tying boxes and packages because it is flat and does not stick out.
  • After tying the first half of the knot, to remember which way you need to continue, keep in mind that the end at the top continues to go up, above the other (see the end of the beige cord in the image of step 3).
  • If you have difficulty learning this tie, by using two strings of different colors (as shown in the images), you will be less likely to make mistakes.
  • A useful phrase to remember the steps of the framework node is: Right over left and left over right make a neat, tight knot.

Warnings

  • This tying is effective because the friction between the two ends keeps the knot secure.Therefore, it is not suitable for tying slippery ropes, such as nylon ropes.
  • It is worth repeating that the square (or flat) knot Not It is designed for bindings subjected to strong tension.In fact, a considerable traction force, exerted on both ends, risks undoing the knot.Other knots, such as the flag knot or the English knot, can support heavier loads.
